NEW REPORT: DNC Docs were Leaked, not Hacked

There was no Russian hack. The leaked DNC documents last summer (posted on
Wikileaks) came from inside leaks, not hacks. The leakers were motivated by
disgust at the corruption of the Clinton Foundation -- and also because of the
tilting of the primary election playing field against Bernie Sanders. (Read
more here). Wikileaks founder has consistently claimed that the
DNC leaks were "leaks", not "hacks" -- just as he
previously told Sean Hannity in an interview on Fox News.

Last night on Tucker Carlson Tonight (also on Fox News) an ex-NSA officer
also said the DNC wasn't hacked by Russians (and the former DNC Chair Debbie
Wasserman Schultz knows it.) One reason that the former NSA officer gave as a reason that there was no evidence of hacking was, because the data (determined by measuring the packets) had been removed from DNC computer/s too fast (as onto a flash drive, not
from the internet).

THIS (From The Nation) >>> Former NSA experts say DNC
"hack" wasn’t a hack at all, but a leak—an inside job.

Salon
(a pro-Clinton website) writes: "What if the DNC Russian “hack” was
really a leak after all? A new report raises questions media and Democrats
would rather ignore A group of intelligence pros and forensic investigators tell The Nation
there was no hack— the media ignores it."

FYI: You can download data from the internet from standard consumer internet
cable plans for double that rate it projected. It uses the dates
"modified" from "created" to establish "how long"
the file transfer took, which isn't entirely true because different file systems
handle "created date" and "modified date" for pre-existing
scp/rsync file transfers... sometimes the dates are preserved, other times they
are not.

Regardless, if the OS reset the "created on" date and changed it to
the time the files finished transferring (it does happen in some file systems --
a lot of Linux systems including Mac os) then the "modified" time
would be the time the file was "accessed" by either an script (like a
python script to run through every file it found and check for meta data - build
a database, etc. and simply set the open access parameter to something other
than "read-only".)

So more than likely, the [DNC files] were copied locally; but it's not
entirely impossible that they didn't come through the internet. Maybe people are
trying to say that since this NSA guy [who was on Tucker Carlson Tonight] said
it was copied locally, that it somehow means that you can never download from
the internet that fast. But internet speeds are up to 100Gb/s which is about
12,500MB/s. The largest interrupter to internet traffic is the NSA actually. The
NSA is actually duplicating the global traffic around the world, which means
that even at 12,500 MB/s you could only ever realistically achieve up to 6,250
MB/s because of that mass surveillance.

The former NSA guy also mentioned they have fiber optic interceptors all over
the world, and would have been able to find those file transfers if the Russians
had did it, just like they found the Chinese hackers a couple years ago.

And remember how Debbie Wasserman Schultz was so adamant about not letting
the FBI look at the DNC computers? And how she kept that Pakistani IT guy on her
payroll after he was barred (the guy who was recently arrested at an airport for
bank fraud while trying to flee the country)?

It all stinks (like the special council Bob Mueller, looking for
"Russian collusion"). I hope Trump's AG Jeff Sessions is on the case
-- and that we're just not hearing about it yet (for the time being.)

* MUST SEE: Wikileaks founder Julian
Assange holds an exclusive interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News (12/15/16) to
debunk the CIA, Obama, the Democrats and the media on their "fake
news" stories about Russian hackers. >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9QhOOGaw8c

And with any luck, Hillary Clinton and all her cronies in her criminal cartel
will finally be brought to justice . . . Hillary for Prison.
